2 Introduction a. The KCTCS User Agency Project Requirements for BAS is intended to communicate the KCTCS Project Requirements for Building Automation Systems (BAS) to the Design Team. These requirements are to be adapted into the project design and specifications as appropriate for the application. These do not modify the project design and contracting team s responsibility for project design, specification and construction. b. For the purposes of maintaining the security and reporting integrity of its enterprise BAS network, KCTCS has established a BAS Standards and Compliance Team (hereafter referred to as the S/C Team). This team s primary responsibility, related to new and renovation construction projects, is to assure that the building automation systems are designed and installed consistent with the quality and performance requirements of the current Information Technology and BAS Network Standards and Policies. c. To accomplish these objectives, KCTCS requires several changes to the traditional delineation of responsibilities in implementing Building Automation Systems. The designer is cautioned to make note of these departures from previous BAS project requirements. d. The Designer shall make every attempt to allow competitive bidding of the BAS and Controls systems without compromising the Project Requirements defined in this document. Where adjustments are required to achieve this end, such adjustments must be approved by the DECA Project Manager and the S/C Team. 2. Definition of Terms BACnet: a communications protocol, defined by ANSI / ASHRAE Standard BAS: Building Automation System CEMCS: Commonwealth Energy Management and Control System CLAN: Controls System Local Area Network DECA: Division of Engineering and Contract Administration DDC: Direct Digital Controls GUI: Graphical User Interface IPsec: Internet Protocol Security JACE: Java Application Control Engine KCTCS: Kentucky Community and Technical College System WAN: KCTCS Enterprise Wide Area Network Lon: a communications protocol, defined by EIA standard protocol (LonTalk ), components referred to as LonMark or LonWorks compliant.

3 3. KCTCS BAS Standards and Compliance Team - Coordination Requirements The primary areas where the S/C Team s role will impact the design and construction process include but are not limited to: a. Design Phase i. Design Deliverables Checklist Review ii. Incremental Design Reviews iii. Incremental Design Phase Approvals b. Construction i. BAS Supplier Pre-Bid Conference ii. HVAC Instrumentation and Controls Scheduling Meeting iii. Pre-Submittal Meeting iv. Submittal Review v. Controls Standard Object Palettes for Controls Suppliers vi. Building and Building System Graphics Generation vii. Building Controls to College Server Integration viii. Controls Implementation & Commissioning Acceptance ix. Owner Proficiency Meeting x. Warranty Phase Operations xi. Warranty Transition 4. KCTCS Building Automation System Description a. A typical controls system architecture in the existing KCTCS inventory is comprised of multiple tiers of communication; the most fundamental being the local equipment controller (BAS Level 1) at the bottom rung, up to the JACE network controller (BAS Level 2) which manages the multiple equipment controllers and passes information up to the server level (BAS Level 3) which manages the human interface and reporting functions. It is a KCTCS requirement that the BAS Architecture implementation and any expansion be accomplished with open protocol / open distribution components and programming, with all programming intellectual property being non-proprietary, including all software keys with full disclosure. This has been difficult to accomplish due to the complexity and proprietary nature of the many control suppliers that have been utilized at the sixteen (16) colleges and headquarters facilities. b. To take full advantage of the existing BAS investment and avoid adding to the BAS complexity, the Niagara AX Framework is the software platform being deployed to implement the KCTCS BAS network. The intent is to accommodate the existing BAS networkswhile maintaining the ability to competitively bid construction projects without compromising the BAS standards and operations. The open nature of the Niagara AX Framework software platform will enable this plan. c. To enable competitive bidding of construction projects, without compromising the BAS standards and operations, KCTCS will furnish Tridium Vykon JACE network controllers (BAS Level 2) to the Controls Provider as OFCI devices. Level 1 Application Specific and Custom Application Controllers and control sensing, actuation and similar devices are intended to be provided by the Control Supplier through the competitive bid process, subject to Building Automation System / Control Product Requirements (paragraph 6 below) and applicable provisions of these Agency Requirements. KCTCS - BAS Design & Standard Operating Procedures Page 3 of 17 Rev 2.5

4 d. The Enterprise BAS Architecture must also be implemented in a manner that will maintain the integrity and security of BAS and other KCTC System networks. These provisions are detailed within KCTCS reference documentation. This document is updated as technology and security developments occur; the design team should request the most current version at the concept development stage of a project. e. The control system communications shall be transparent, meaning that the user or control programmer does not need to know the details of system architecture and operation. f. The project design shall provide for all labor, materials, equipment programming, and service necessary for a complete and operating temperature control system, utilizing a high speed peer to peer network of interoperable Direct Digital Controls (DDC), electronic sensing and actuation devices, and Graphical User Interface (GUI) with color graphic displays available to the Enterprise network user. g. The Controls System Local Area Network (CLAN) for dedicated controllers shall be at least 100 Mpbs Ethernet furnished by the control system supplier and shall support BACnet IP, BACnet MSTP, Lon, Modbus TCP, and Modbus Async for maximum flexibility for integration of building data with Universal Network Controllers (UNCs) to control system supplier s Application Specific Controllers, Custom Application Controllers and control devices h. The Enterprise Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) shall utilize the WAN furnished and maintained by KCTCS. i. The control system shall consist of an open architecture with capability to utilize EIA standard (LonTalk ) protocol, as a common communication protocol between controllers and integral ANSI / ASHRAE Standard 135-2XXX (BACnet-current release) functionality to assure interoperability among all system components. Both the Lon protocol and the BACnet protocol are required to assure that the project is fully supported by the two leading HVAC open protocols to reduce future building maintenance, upgrade, and expansion costs. Where specific products are not Lon or BACnet compatible, the Modbus protocol is an acceptable communication protocol to that specific device only. j. Where necessary or desired, Lon packets may be encapsulated into TCP/IP messages to take advantage of existing infrastructure or to increase network bandwidth. Any such encapsulation of the Lon protocol into IP datagrams shall conform to existing Lon guidelines for such encapsulation and shall be based on industry standard protocols. k. The products used in constructing the control system shall be LonMark compliant. In instances where LonMark devices are not available; the controls system supplier shall provide LonWorks devices with application source code, device resource files, and external interface definitions. l. The software tools including cables and connectors required to manage Lon, Modbus and BACnet protocols must be provided with the system. Minimum BACnet compliance is Level 3; with the ability to support data read and write functionality. Physical connection of BACnet devices shall be via Ethernet/Ethernet IP. m. All work described in this section shall be installed, circuit tested, and calibrated by factory certified technicians qualified for this work and in the regular employment of the Control System Supplier. n. Provide Portable Engineering Station (PES) software, and interfaces to provide uploading/downloading of Custom Application Controller and Application Specific Controllers databases, monitoring of all Lon Standard Network Variables Types (SNVTs) including display of all bound SNVTs, monitoring and overrides of all controller physical KCTCS - BAS Design & Standard Operating Procedures Page 4 of 17 Rev 2.5
